I try to make BOM baloon for BULK.part in my drawing (Wildfire 1 and 2 the same problem)
I did the procedure 1.make a table
2.make a Repeat region
and now if I select Bul.part and press right mouse buton I have option "create BOM baloon". I press that option and there is a message " Select a Parental View" .Then I select Main wiew in my drawing witch I presume its a Parental View. And then Nothing happend I dont have baloon for my BULK.part.

Does anybody know the solution.
Thanks

The problem with Bulk Items is that there is no geometry, so you cant attach a leader to it.

I suggest you add blank parts/assemblies and add the BoM leaders to them (create a datum point or something similar that has no vloume of mass...).

Usualy you'll use bulk items for paint, primer and stuff like that. You will generate an index in your BOM but not a balloon. As Steve said, you cannot attach a balloon to a part with no geometry.

Follow Steve's sugestion.
